OST Update:
Good afternoon,
We are currently in the process of updating our Procare software, which manages our attendance and billing systems. Our current version is no longer supported, and unfortunately, I won’t be able to have the new program fully operational until August 28.
At this time, I’m unable to print billing reports, but I can still process bills and deposit payments.
If you would like a copy of your most recent bill (for the period August 10–16), please email me at Brett.Schwan@k12.sd.us.
Thank you for your patience during this transition.
